Aeroelastic Tailoring Of Woven Cantilevered Glass-Epoxy Plate-Like Aircraft Wing

The application of uni-directional composites in aeroelastic tailoring has long been established due to their highly directional properties. However, the use of woven, bi-directional textile composite in this area is practically nil due to their lower strength and stiffness, although this class of m...

description The application of uni-directional composites in aeroelastic tailoring has long been established due to their highly directional properties.

The aeroelastic flutter and divergence behaviour of rectangular, woven glass/epoxy cantilevered plates with varying amount of bending and torsion stiffness coupling is investigated in subsonic flow.
